Wally still doesn't get it
The headline in Friday's paper reads:Oppal calls for calm after shooting.This is the same Wally Oppal that recently called for a return to the habitual criminal act.His solicitor General John Les actually used the word habitual,Wally substituted chronic offender but the thought was exactly the sameThese people know exactly why people are dying.They know the drug laws as they stand now are killing people and will continue to do so until something is done.Unfortunately,they still think the answer lies somewhere in the current system of jail,enforcement,policing and the court and criminal justice system.I have no idea how their minds work or how they think that the drug problem,which has gotten consistently worse,can be solved with more of the same.The stats keep getting muddled and the death toll is either pumped up or down played,depending on the point they're trying to make.Right now the plan seems to be to play down peoples fear as the bodies are really starting to pile up.I was recently in contact with the head of the Green party(she actually wrote me herself)and they want to end this war.The Liberal party of B.C.
